Love Sets You Free to Play and Dream – Dare Dreamer Be Free
We began our journey on this Earth with the freedom to discover, to explore with wide-eyed wonder, we dreamed, we played naturally – until we lost our trust and fear drew us away from our real life reverie and the freedom that is ours…
What would happened if we embraced the childlike freedom to dream and play again?
I was inspired to do research for my education doctorate program on the power of play in learning and creativity for kids and “grown up” kids, and how play is beneficial to our productivity, creativity, and health. Recently at my research presentation I brought blowpops, bubbles, balls and other toys for the educational professionals to play with – and they did! It was a sight to see (and giggle at! Can you imagine your school’s teachers and principals blowing bubbles?;). I loved seeing them ignite their inner-child!
I encourage you to do the same! The first journey of the Dare Dreamer Movement is reconnecting with the child in you and the boundless creativity that has been stifled by your life experiences. Let’s regain the freedom we had to dream and live with wonder and whimsy – the Love that created us gives us permission to be free from the darkness and trials of this world and live in light and possibility.
What can you do today to add an element of play to your life?
For me it has been adding more time to do art, dance and write songs without caring what others would think. I’d love you to share how you would play with me!

Come Alive, You Are So Loved! Dream in Soul Inspiration
So. Loved.
So, I thought I knew what those words mean, I’d heard them since I was a little girl, but after years of repetition and pain they became just words on a page to me. It wasn’t until true love rocked my world and revived my heart that I so came alive and could truly see and believe…
For. God.
He pursued my heart with sweet words of tenderness until I ceased my striving for success and stopped running my life to listen. Is that really…You? You are REAL. Whoa. His reality and the new visions and dreams He gave me rescued me from the pit of depression, resuscitated my heart from the death of life without Him.
WOW. His PASSION. The words of His Word become so real and get so personal when you draw in to hear His voice, when He shows you His heart and yours yearns like His, when He invites you on an intimate adventure of purpose for people and you realize just how powerful and passionate this God of love is…
You. Are.
You might feel like one among many but the One who created everything made you uniquely, wonderfully in His reflection. He covered my imperfections with a veil of royalty and acceptance and brings me joy and fulfillment beyond my dreams. He turned the mess of my life into a striking masterpiece and He can bring peace to the shards of your shattered heart – if you’ll just release them.
Believe.
He understands everything you feel, keeps track of every tear, hair and detail, sees what you go through and knows you by name. When you get to know Him you realize your worries and shame are nothing, all you thought you needed are nothing. Without Him we’re nothing – and God plus nothing equals EVERYTHING…
The. World.
From the very beginning He set out on a plan to bring His beloved ones back to Him in the most riveting and real of romances: From a tree in a garden where we became separated, to a tree where Jesus became our sin and a bridge to relationship with Him – a gift of life eternal the way it was meant to be, to the Tree of Life in a garden restored where we will be reunited. Jesus did what He said, came back from the dead and His word will soon prove true when He returns again.
Join The Dare Dreamer Movement: Empowering You To Live Your Dreams Boldly, On Purpose
Don’t Just Talk About Your Dreams – Live Them
It’s so important to take action on the dreams planted in your heart – even if it’s just a little step per day. The process of dreams takes time – the journey may be difficult but it’s during the pruning process that you are strengthened to live out the purpose you were made for.
Your dreams were planted in your heart for a greater reason – to flourish and bloom in due season. I know the process and journey can be hard and we can become disillusioned and weary along the way (I have years of experience in that dark, discouraging place) but never give up on the purpose you were made for – those deeply rooted visions🌳 that make your heart race weren’t meant to just be imagined! They were made to be revived, nurtured, watered and harvested in just the right timing to bring nourishment, joy, and hope to the lives of others…
I know how it feels to be discouraged, afraid and trying to live out your dreams alone… Need a cheerleader (that’s me;) to motivate you on your journey of dreams? Join our community by filling out the form below to share your dreams, and get support, inspiration and motivation for your purpose!

The Art of Health and Loving Your Heart: The Dreamer Rejuvenation Project
I’ve been interested in and studying health ever since I was in high school and interned at a hospital. Since then I’ve been looking for ways to make exercise and wellness more creative and fun after struggling in this area myself.
After I interned at The Cooper Institute and got my Master’s degree in public health I decided to combine my passion for creativity with this interest in wellness to create The Dreamer Rejuvenation Project. Health and wellness often seems boring and tedious to the creative mind (I’d rather be making art than slaving away at a treadmill!;), and science stiff and stuffy – but what if we saw the complexity of the human body as art, and as creatives took better care of our health not as a nuisance but as a creative undertaking and privilege.
I’ve been honing what the project will look like and will be sharing inspiration on treating the care of your health as an art form and appreciating your body for the intricate masterpiece it is, created with care and purpose. Stay tuned here and on Twitter for more inspiration!
As you hone your craft, take time to love the intricately crafted artwork you are…#ArtofHealth http://t.co/vsn1V00g12 pic.twitter.com/bes92ODDQs
